Critics Ratings

'The 2017 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru has a beautifully defined bouquet of extremely pure brambly red fruit, and the oak is very well integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine structure and well-judged acidity. Though this is initially backward on the finish, it opens nicely in the glass. Whether it is long-term is another matter. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.' - Neal Martin, Vinous, 93/100 (Sep 2021)

'This is superb, with everything in the right place, beginning with macerated cherry, kirsch, sandalwood and stone notes. Layers of flavors build on the palate, remaining fresh and focused through the lingering aftertaste. Great energy here. Best from 2024 through 2047.' - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, 96/100 (Jan 2021)

“Two-thirds Mazoyères. ‘Kick-ass’ wine, suggests Cyrielle Rousseau. 'Dark fruited and with a touch of smoky reduction. A rocky mineral aroma too. Delicate but definite. On the palate, real power and strength at the core, like a strong line through the middle. Clearly defined, structured, compact, tight. They change every week, Cyrielle Rousseau tells me.' Drinking window - 2027 – 2042' - Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, 18/20 (Jan 2019)
